  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Tri family racing puts on great community races but suffers from a lack of punctuality. The adult sprint was supposed to start ~0715, but start was delayed until 0800. Additionally, with the serpentine start, the race would avoid congestion by starting people (and assigning numbers) based on HONEST swim times-- in other words, if they start with the fastest and move down the line to the slowest, the pool will be much less congested. In all, this is my third ever triathlon, and second with this organizer. I think they did a fantastic job--especially considering there was a youth tri, adult Sprint, and adult Olympic all in the same location.

  • Comments: I have nothing to compare this race to as it was my first one. There were a few snags for sure but overall I think it went pretty well.
